CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The subject patent application claims priority to U.S. ProvisionalPatent Application No. 62/788,695, filed on Jan. 4, 2019 and entitled“SET-TOP BOX FOR TV, INTERNET AND CELLULAR DEVICES,” the entirety ofwhich application is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

TECHNICAL FIELD

This disclosure relates generally to processing over the air signalcomprising television programing data. More specifically, facilitatingprocessing of programing data by multiple technologies.

BACKGROUND

When a user wants to consume a program content, they utilize a smart-TV,mobile devices or set top boxes (STB) that process program data (e.g.,program content such as movies, television shows, videos, etc.). Datafor the program content can be broadcasted over the air by the contentproviders. Some of the broadcasted data can be free while others requirea subscription. Typically, the subscription data requires a user tosubscribe to a paid service that allow the user to display requestedprogram content on their television display or portable device (e.g.,smart-TV or mobile phone). Typically, the subscriber is required tosubscribe to a monthly or annual service fee and is required to use theSTB to process the program content. Many times, the subscriber isrequired to pay additional fees for using the STB. Some STB employstandard antennas to capture and process broadcasted program contentsignals (e.g., free over the air content) to display the requestedtelevision program using a wired/wireless via a cable connected to theSTB. Many times, depending on the location of the STB, the requestedtelevision program is not available, the requested television program isnot free, or the reception of broadcasted signals is low strength thatthe STB is unable to produce a high-quality display of the televisionprogram from the received signals.

The above-described background relating to capture and processing ofprogram content is merely intended to provide a contextual overview ofsome current issues and is not intended to be exhaustive. Othercontextual information may become further apparent upon review of thefollowing detailed description.

In some embodiments the non-limiting term user equipment (UE)is used. It can refer to any type of wireless device that communicateswith a radio network node in a cellular or mobile communication system.In some embodiments, UE can refer to vehicle, pedestrian, or a mobilehandset or any device that communicates with or without a network node.Examples of UE are target device, device to device (D2D) UE, machinetype UE or UE capable of machine to machine (M2M) communication, vehicleto vehicle (V2V), vehicle to everything (V2X), PDA, Tablet, mobileterminals, smart phone, laptop embedded equipped (LEE), laptop mountedequipment (LME), USB dongles, etc. Note that the terms element, elementsand antenna ports can be interchangeably used but carry the same meaningin this disclosure. The embodiments are applicable to single carrier aswell as to multicarrier (MC) or carrier aggregation (CA) operation ofthe UE. The term carrier aggregation (CA) is also called (e.g.,interchangeably called) “multi-carrier system”, “multi-cell operation”,“multi-carrier operation”, “multi-carrier” transmission and/orreception.

In some embodiments the non-limiting term radio, network node, or simplynetwork node is used. It can refer to any type of network node thatserves UE is connected to other network nodes or network elements or anyradio node from where UE receives a signal.

The SDN controller can be merged withthe 5G network architecture to enable service deliveries via openapplication programming interfaces (“APIs”) and move the network coretowards an all internet protocol (“IP”), cloud based, and softwaredriven telecommunications network. The SDN controller can work with ortake the place of policy and charging rules function (“PCRF”) networkelements so that policies such as quality of service and trafficmanagement and routing can be synchronized and managed end to end.

Wireless local area networks (WLANs) have long been deployed inunlicensed spectrum bands. The IEEE 802.11 communications standard is anexample of a communications system operating in these bands. A popularimplementation thereof, for example, is WiFi. Numerous versions of theWiFi standard have been developed and deployed over the years such as802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax. One characteristic of this evolution is theever-increasing bandwidth these communications standards can offer. Forexample, IEEE 802.11a started out with 20 MHz bandwidth whereby thelatest generation, WiFi 6 or 802.11ax, can access up to 160 MHz. Thestandards associated with WiFi (e.g., all versions) define how devicescan transmit using unlicensed spectrum. A device operating using WiFi,first listens on the portion of the subband (e.g., a subbands of 20 MHz)until there is no traffic before transmitting using that subband (e.g.,also referred to as “sensing” or “scanning”). The sensing beforetransmitting applies to transmission on both uplink and downlink.Sensing is a method for checking for energy on a given subband during atime-slot. In particular, an energy detection threshold is defined persaid LBT subband and whether the medium is occupied or idle isdetermined per LBT subband based on whether the measurement results in avalue larger or smaller than said detection threshold. If for a givensubband, the threshold is exceeded, it is considered occupied or busy;otherwise it is considered idle (e.g., available to transmit for apredefined timeframes/timeslot, for example, ten timeslots).

As the LTE technology is advancing the resources employed forestablishing communication, transmitting data or addition of referencesignals causes the resource block to be adjusted. For the firstgeneration of communication devices, a set of resources were reservedand set of resources were available for general use (e.g., communicationof data, establishing communication, etc.). The network node deviceand/or central controller determined how the available resources wouldbe employed. As the LTE technology advanced, the use of availableresources may be controlled by the communication device for device todevice communication. For LTE Rel-14 introduced a new mode that allowedcommunication device to establish a NR sidelink that did not need theassistance for the network. Thus, the communication devices determinedhow the available resources may be employed. This allowed communicationdevices to create a NR sidelink using the available resources. Theproblem occurs when new generation of communication devices enter thecommunication network. The new generation of communication devices mayuse certain available resources for specific purposes, thereby makethose available resources unavailable. This situation, the collision mayoccur between the older version communication devices communicating withnew generation communication devices.

In some embodiments, the smart-box 104 can receive requested programfrom the content server 170 using network node device 110 that isconnected to the content server 170 via a connection 108 (e.g., wirelesscommunication link). The smart-box 104 is configured to connect to thenetwork node device 110 via use of a long-range wireless connection(e.g., a wireless connection established using various standardizedradio technology, for example, but not limited to, technology defined as3G, 4G, 5G, etc.) 132. In some embodiments, wireless connection 132 isestablished using a first telecommunication service provider (e.g.,AT&T).

In some embodiments, the smart-box 104 is connected to a communicationdevice 120 using a wireless connection 134, wherein the wirelessconnection 134 is established using a short-range wireless technology,for example, but not limited to, WiFi.

Thewireless connection 136 can be a long-range wireless connectionestablished using various standardized radio technology, for example,but not limited to, technology defined as 3G, 4G, 5G, etc.). In someembodiments, wireless connection 136 is established using a secondcommunication service provider (e.g., Verizon) that is different fromthe first telecommunication service provider. Both network node devices110 and 112 are communicatively connected to the content server 170 viaa connection 108 to acquire requested program content.

Upon processing the received data (e.g., using variousstandard technologies available for processing program content), thesmart-box 104 can transmit data to be displayed on one or more displays150 using wired/wireless connection 138.

In one or more embodiments, system 100 can comprise one or more userequipment UEs (e.g., smart-box 104 and communication device 120). Thenon-limiting term user equipment can refer to any type of device thatcan communicate with a network node in a cellular or mobilecommunication system. A UE can have one or more antenna panels havingvertical and horizontal elements. Examples of a UE comprise a targetdevice, device to device (D2D) UE, machine type UE or UE capable ofmachine to machine (M2M) communications, personal digital assistant(PDA), tablet, mobile terminals, smart phone, laptop mounted equipment(LME), universal serial bus (USB) dongles enabled for mobilecommunications, a computer having mobile capabilities, a mobile devicesuch as cellular phone, a laptop having laptop embedded equipment (LEE,such as a mobile broadband adapter), a tablet computer having a mobilebroadband adapter, a wearable device, a virtual reality (VR) device, aheads-up display (HUD) device, a smart car, a machine-type communication(MTC) device, and the like. User equipment UE can also comprise IOTdevices that communicate wirelessly.

In various embodiments, system 100 is or comprises a wirelesscommunication network serviced by one or more wireless communicationnetwork providers. In example embodiments, a UE can be communicativelycoupled to the wireless communication network via a network node (e.g.,network node device 110 and 112). The network node can communicate withuser equipment (UE), thus providing connectivity between the UE and thewider cellular network. The UE can send transmission type recommendationdata to the network node.

System 100 can further include one or more communication serviceprovider networks that facilitate providing wireless communicationservices to various UEs, including smart-box 104, via the network nodedevice 110 and/or various additional network devices (not shown)included in the one or more communication service provider networks. Theone or more communication service provider networks can include varioustypes of disparate networks, including but not limited to: cellularnetworks, femto networks, picocell networks, microcell networks,internet protocol (IP) networks Wi-Fi service networks, broadbandservice network, enterprise networks, cloud-based networks, millimeterwave networks and the like. For example, in at least one implementation,system 100 can be or include a large-scale wireless communicationnetwork that spans various geographic areas. According to thisimplementation, the one or more communication service provider networkscan be or include the wireless communication network and/or variousadditional devices and components of the wireless communication network(e.g., additional network devices and cell, additional UEs, networkserver devices, etc.). The network node can be connected to the one ormore communication service provider networks via one or more backhaullinks. For example, the one or more backhaul links can comprise wiredlink components, such as a T1/E1 phone line, a digital subscriber line(DSL) (e.g., either synchronous or asynchronous), an asymmetric DSL(ADSL), an optical fiber backbone, a coaxial cable, and the like. Theone or more backhaul links 108 can also include wireless linkcomponents, such as but not limited to, line-of-sight (LOS) or non-LOSlinks which can include terrestrial air-interfaces or deep space links(e.g., satellite communication links for navigation).

Wireless communication system 100 can employ various cellular systems,technologies, and modulation modes to facilitate wireless radiocommunications between devices (e.g., the UE and the network node).While example embodiments might be described for 5G new radio (NR)systems, the embodiments can be applicable to any radio accesstechnology (RAT) or multi-RAT system where the UE operates usingmultiple carriers e.g. LTE FDD/TDD, GSM/GERAN, CDMA2000 etc.

For example, system 100 can operate in accordance with global system formobile communications (GSM), universal mobile telecommunications service(UMTS), long term evolution (LTE), LTE frequency division duplexing (LTEFDD, LTE time division duplexing (TDD), high speed packet access (HSPA),code division multiple access (CDMA), wideband CDMA (WCMDA), CDMA2000,time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access(FDMA), multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA),single-carrier code division multiple access (SC-CDMA), single-carrierFDMA (SC-FDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM),discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-spread OFDM) single carrierFDMA (SC-FDMA), Filter bank based multi-carrier (FBMC), zero tailDFT-spread-OFDM (ZT DFT-s-OFDM), generalized frequency divisionmultiplexing (GFDM), fixed mobile convergence (FMC), universal fixedmobile convergence (UFMC), unique word OFDM (UW-OFDM), unique wordDFT-spread OFDM (UW DFT-Spread-OFDM), cyclic prefix OFDM CP-OFDM,resource-block-filtered OFDM, Wi Fi, WLAN, WiMax, and the like. However,various features and functionalities of system 100 are particularlydescribed wherein the devices (e.g., the UEs and the network device) ofsystem 100 are configured to communicate wireless signals using one ormore multi carrier modulation schemes, wherein data symbols can betransmitted simultaneously over multiple frequency subcarriers (e.g.,OFDM, CP-OFDM, DFT-spread OFMD, UFMC, FMBC, etc.). The embodiments areapplicable to single carrier as well as to multicarrier (MC) or carrieraggregation (CA) operation of the UE. The term carrier aggregation (CA)is also called (e.g. interchangeably called) “multi-carrier system”,“multi-cell operation”, “multi-carrier operation”, “multi-carrier”transmission and/or reception. Note that some embodiments are alsoapplicable for Multi RAB (radio bearers) on some carriers (that is dataplus speech is simultaneously scheduled).

In various embodiments, system 100 can be configured to provide andemploy 5G wireless networking features and functionalities. The 5Gwireless communication networks are expected to fulfill the demand ofexponentially increasing data traffic and to allow people and machinesto enjoy gigabit data rates with virtually zero latency. Compared to 4G,5G supports more diverse traffic scenarios. For example, in addition tothe various types of data communication between conventional UEs (e.g.,phones, smartphones, tablets, PCs, televisions, Internet enabledtelevisions, etc.) supported by 4G networks, 5G networks can be employedto support data communication between smart cars in association withdriverless car environments, as well as machine type communications(MTCs). Considering the drastic different communication needs of thesedifferent traffic scenarios, the ability to dynamically configurewaveform parameters based on traffic scenarios while retaining thebenefits of multi carrier modulation schemes (e.g., OFDM and relatedschemes) can provide a significant contribution to the highspeed/capacity and low latency demands of 5G networks. With waveformsthat split the bandwidth into several sub-bands, different types ofservices can be accommodated in different sub-bands with the mostsuitable waveform and numerology, leading to an improved spectrumutilization for 5G networks.

The upcoming 5G access network may utilize higher frequencies (e.g., >6GHz) to aid in increasing capacity. Currently, much of the millimeterwave (mmWave) spectrum, the band of spectrum between 30 GHz and 300 GHzis underutilized. The millimeter waves have shorter wavelengths thatrange from 10 millimeters to 1 millimeter, and these mmWave signalsexperience severe path loss, penetration loss, and fading. However, theshorter wavelength at mmWave frequencies also allows more antennas to bepacked in the same physical dimension, which allows for large-scalespatial multiplexing and highly directional beamforming.

Performance can be improved if both the transmitter and the receiver areequipped with multiple antennas. Multi-antenna techniques cansignificantly increase the data rates and reliability of a wirelesscommunication system. The use of multiple input multiple output (MIMO)techniques, which was introduced in the third-generation partnershipproject (3GPP) and has been in use (including with LTE), is amulti-antenna technique that can improve the spectral efficiency oftransmissions, thereby significantly boosting the overall data carryingcapacity of wireless systems. The use of multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) techniques can improve mmWave communications and has been widelyrecognized a potentially important component for access networksoperating in higher frequencies. MIMO can be used for achievingdiversity gain, spatial multiplexing gain and beamforming gain. Forthese reasons, MIMO systems are an important part of the 3rd and 4thgeneration wireless systems and are planned for use in 5G systems.

Referring now to FIG. 2, illustrated is an example flow diagram 200 ofoperation of the smart-box 104 according to one or more embodiments. Forexample, at 202, the smart-box 104 receives a request to display aprogram. A program can be television show (e.g., CSI, ABC News, ChicagoPD, etc.) or a movie (e.g., Star Wars or the like). In some embodiments,the smart-box 104 is communicatively connected to a display (e.g., atelevision, computer, stand-alone display, iPad, iPhone, etc.), whereinan electronic program guide (EPG) is displayed. The EPG displays list ofprograms that a user can select. In some embodiments, the EPG isutilized to request a program (e.g., program content or content). Uponselecting program and requesting the program, at 206, the smart-box 104,initiates acquisition of the program. In an embodiment, the smart-box104 may utilize at least three schemes (also referred to asarrangements, method, systems) to get the program for display. In firstarrangement, the system (e.g., processor that controls the functionallyof the smart-box 104) utilizes a first antenna to retrieve data that isbroadcasted. Today, many programs are broadcasted over the air.Utilizing standard antenna and well-known algorithms, broadcasted datacan be received, processed and converted into a set of data packets thatcan be displayed on a display. The system can determine based on thebroadcast data if the requested program is available for free. Someprograms are not available and require a subscription. In such a case,the program cannot be acquired using the first arrangement. If theprogram is available, the system determines the quality of the program.If the program quality is below an acceptable level (e.g., quality valueis below a threshold value), the system will automatically utilize otherarrangements to acquire the program. There are some conditions that maycause the system to determine that an alternate arrangement should beused. For example, when quality of the program is impacted based onlocation of the smart-box (e.g., in the mountains or in an area withlots of interference, etc.) or the signal strength of the broadcast datais low. If all the data cannot be processed smoothly, the system willassign a quality value that is low (e.g., below the threshold). At 210,the system determines is the quality of the program is acceptable. Ifacceptable, then at 250, the program is displayed using the firstarrangement. In some embodiments, the system continues to monitorprogram quality and automatically make decision to utilize otherarrangements.

In some embodiments, if the quality of program is not acceptable, thenat 214, the system initiates acquisition of the program using a secondarrangement. In some embodiments, the smart-box is provided technologythat allows the smart-box 104 to establish a wireless telecommunicationlink (e.g., wireless communication link) with a service provider. Thewireless communication link is used to establish a connection with thecontent provider server to retrieve the program. In an embodiment, thesystem utilizes the integrated technology to establish a connection withthe content server to acquire (e.g., collect) data representative of therequested program. For example, using various cellular technology (e.g.,4G or 5G telecommunication technology) the system can establish aconnection (e.g., internet connection via the telecommunication network)to the content server to stream the program to smart-box. If the programis available to download, the data can be downloaded to an internalmemory or external memory (e.g., cloud-based server). The program canalso be streamed directly from the content server using the cellularconnections (also referred to as long range communication link).Although the modern technology has improved significantly, there may besituations when the signal quality of the telecommunication link may below and thereby causing the program to get a low-quality value. Forexample, due to high traffic on the telecommunication network, some datapackets may get dropped or delayed. This can cause jitters whendisplaying the program. In some embodiments, the system monitors qualityof program acquired by use of the long-range technology. The system canassign a low quality value if the quality of the data packets is low ordrop rate is high. The system can determine that quality is notacceptable is the quality value is below a threshold. At 218, the systemchecks to determine if the quality is acceptable. If quality isacceptable, then the program is continued to be displayed using thesecond arrangements.

In some embodiments, if the quality of program is not acceptable, thenat 222, the system initiates acquisition of the program using a thirdarrangement (e.g., via a WiFi connected to a mobile device that hasestablished a hot-spot network). In some embodiments, when the firstarrangement and the second arrangement cannot be used, the system canrequest the user to establish a hot-spot on a mobile device. In someembodiments, the telecommunication provider of the mobile device, usedfor establishing a connection with the content server, is different fromthe telecommunication service provider used the integrated technology(e.g., via the SIM) of the smart-box 104. For example, thetelecommunication service provider of the mobile device can be Verizonand the SIM used by the smart-box 104 provides use of AT&T network. Theadvantage of using the third arrangement is that it allows the system toutilize an alternate method to establish a connection to the contentserver. For example, if the AT&T signal strength or coverage is low,then the system can use an external device associated with anothertelecommunication service provider (e.g., Verizon or Sprint) to acquirethe program content. Thereby providing the high quality user experienceusing various methods to acquire the program. If quality of the programis acceptable, the program is displayed at 250.

In some embodiments, if the quality is not acceptable at 226 (e.g., thefirst, second and third arrangement failed to produce acceptable qualityprogram, then the system can utilize a fourth method at 230. The fourthmethod can be a present determination to use the arrangement thatproduces the program with the highest quality, even if lower thanthreshold. In some embodiments, the fourth method can be to use acombiner to patch together dropped data packets. The missing data packetcan be retrieved from the second arrangement or the third arrangement.

In some embodiments, the first arrangement, the second arrangement andthird arrangement can operate simultaneously, wherein the quality of theprogram is checked periodically. The system can switch to thearrangement that produces the highest quality to display the program.Depending on the type of service the user has established with thetelecommunication provider, there may be a cost associated with use ofthe service (e.g., cost for using data), even if the program is free. Insome embodiments, the system can select the arrangement that is mostcost effective (e.g., free over paid, free over data charge, or firsttelecommunication service provider over another with higher cost for useof data service). For example, when the program is available free overthe air (e.g., first arrangement), the system will use the firstarrangement to display program over the other arrangements.

In some embodiments, an additional arrangement (e.g., a fiftharrangement) or one of the above described arrangements can be ahard-wired Ethernet connection, which connects to internet via externaldevices, for example but not limited to, a cable modem and deliverynetwork like (e.g., Comcast or the like) to collect the content data.

In some embodiments, a fourth arrangement is provided to utilize a wiredcommunication link, wherein the wire communication technology can beEthernet technology that is used to collect the content. The smart-box104 is configured to utilize the Ethernet to connect to the contentserver utilizing wired technology (e.g., data modulation anddemodulation according to various internet standard technologies).

In some embodiments, wired and wireless communication links (e.g., usingany of the arrangements described above) can be utilized, stand alone orin combination, to generate the content that produces the highestquality value for the content. For example, the smart-box 104 isconfigured to identify best modulation schemes, wired or wirelessmodulation, to generate the content to be displayed on a display (e.g.,transmitting content to the display component, discussed below).
